2022/23 NBA Season Thread

[BDBOULIBALY]

Owners need to push against the players a bit more

Adam Silver gave too much freedom imo

Chill Bull Connor

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

there’s no way I could know the answer to that

The grizzlies would not be operating the way they are under David stern lol

Then there’s no way to know if he would be able to stop it either.

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

Back to back with San Antonio this weekend

Gamesmanship from both teams is about to be disgusting

Rockets signed me to a 10 day

About make sure we get wemby

Well if these are issues that didn’t happen when he was commissioner then one could surmise..

Getting too far away from the original point

Owners need more power

All tanks on deck. We in the home stretch.

 

[PhenomTheMac]

I wonder if the Warriros regret that Jordan Poole contract yet

Nope.

If/when the Nuggets go out sad in the playoffs watch how fast the media turns on Jokic

EXACTLY!!

if they don’t go to at least the conference finals and win a few games, Jokic is gonna get roasted by the national media.

People in here acting like dude didn’t ball out and got love for carrying a team 2 years running that was banged up are being disingenuous. Lmao.

Jokic is definitely gonna get his comeuppance if Denver falls short in the playoffs this season with a relatively healthy squad.

lol no

I’ll just say David stern would not let load management to this extent happen, he wouldn’t let all star weekend feel insignificant, and he wouldn’t let players demand trades a year after signing max deals

Etc

Healthy players sitting out is trash.

The team and player is at fault

How is it the players fault? Apart from a few players (2-3), if a team says a healthy player is in the lineup, the player is playing.

Players did not come up with “Load Management “

Spurs out here losing 37 games in a row and my brother here wants to get rid of their “advantage “ in this war, lol.

I watched Draymond Green agree with load management.

So players are agreeing with it


The teams and players are at fault

 

[Dwayne]

Y’all don’t go to games and it shows

 

[southsil4lil]

Nope.

29 usage(career high) with a PER of 14(lowest of career besides rookie year) is pretty bad....lowest true shooting since his rookie year too. He is getting to the free throw line a little more which is nice

Never a good sign though when someone gets worse when the workload increases....dude has been atrocious on defense and turns the ball over a ton too

@Hustlelitó

based off what you've seen this season.....what do you think the plan should be if dont get a top 2 pick?(besides committing that)

Take the best player available which undoubtedly extended this rebuild with no direction or try to trade it for more assets/star player/veteran help?

Marcus smart shouldn’t have won DPOY last season either

It’s all right though the voting for it has been trash for a decade

If we don’t get top 2 we still have to make moves to get competitive because OKC gets our picks starting next season.

Maybe put 3 on the table for future picks/and or players to offset the loss of our own pick.

They’re gonna go after Harden in the off season. Rumors are there’s legit interest. If he comes who you pair him with? Only other FA I can see working would be Middleton but do you really wanna tie up space in a harden/Middleton duo? Lol

Jalen probably stays
Al P stays

Bari and Tari can be moved. I’d rather keep Tari tbh

Best course of action to me is Sign vets to short term/team option deals, shoot for the play in, and try again in summer 24’.

At this point, most fans would be cool with that I think.
